Gender and Intersectional Inequalities in Energy Transition – gEneSys Autumn School
Registration is now open for the gEneSys Autumn School: Gender and Intersectional Inequalities in Energy Transition, which will be held at Venice International University (VIU) from October 6 to 10, 2025.
Registration will be possible until March 31, 2025.
The course is aimed at students (master’s degree and PhD), early-stage researchers and post-docs (in STEM and SSH fields), and science communicators. The course aims to explore the social, economic, and political dimensions of energy transition through a gender and intersectional lens, providing tools and insights to integrate such perspectives into research or professional work. Workshops and scenario building sessions are planned in an interdisciplinary and international setting.
There are no participation fees.
All information and the registration form are available on the VIU website.
Training Modules
- Building evidence: What the scientific literature says about the link between gender and energy; a new ontology of energy systems, designed to explore the multidisciplinary nature of this field and the interconnections between its various components; and a gender analysis of the scientific community working in energy transition, highlighting gender inequalities in researcher participation and knowledge creation.
- Policy and cooperation: Gender and intersectional analysis of EU policies and cooperation agreements between the EU and Africa on energy and green infrastructure.
- Analytical Model: Intersections between socio-economic inequalities in citizens’ behaviors and energy use.
- Textbook analysis: Analysis of educational material on energy transition and gender disparities in textbooks and curricula.
- Building a credible pathway: How to build alternative and inclusive pathways for energy transition.
The school is promoted within the framework of the Horizon gEneSys Project “Transforming Gendered Interrelations of Power and Inequalities in Transition Pathways to Sustainable Energy Systems”, coordinated by:
- National Research Institute on Population and Social Policies of CNR (CNR-IRPPS)
With the participation of:
